I think I can see why Valencia said no to anymore tickets for Stoke now. Surely there's a little bit more in it for them this way. (No way am I complaining though, the mark up on a £9 ticket compared to euro16.50 is only a fiver!! I know it's a bit early to be singing this systems praises, but it seems beautifully simple so far, and superior to anything I've come across in the UK.

I would have thought the extra would be the commission for servicaixa/ticketmaster.

the face value is €15 and the ticketmaster fee is €1.50. Not bad all round. Where you sitting paul, i'dlike to continue our recent debates if you don't mind.

Just google-mapped my hotel (5min walk from Mestalla) and there's a La Caixa 100yds down the road just past a patisserie, pizza restaurant, tobacconist and bar. I can see the yellow atm/ticket machine through the window on street view. If Carlsberg did football matches... ;D GET IN - now I'm proper fooking excited and no ticket worries. Just hope block 62 isn't miles away from our main section but even if it is there's a good number of us and I'm sure we can do our own bit like the South Stand does back home...

You're right of course. When I think of the hassle my mates back in Stoke went to getting me tickets for Kiev and Besiktas, this feels too good to be true!!! (Definitely I'm a glass half empty merchant tonight!!!)

The reason Valencia wouldn't give us more (together) is now becoming a bit clearer. There's obviously locals sitting in all areas apart from the 2300 away section who cannot/will not be moved. Using this La Caixa facility I'd suggest we're picking up seats in and amongst them. This is born out by the fact it's hard to get 4 or more together without repeated attempts on the booking system. Can't say I'd be too pleased if Stoke did that to us at a home game - the poor buggers won't know what's hit them (in the nicest possible way)...

Which doesn't really sit well with the assertion that they're going to have a dedicated section (a la Rangers) near to the official away section for ticketless Stoke fans on the day.

I have used La Caixa with an English card and it worked fine when I collected from the machine at the Bernabeu.

Paul, we don't know where this block 62 is situated yet so there's still scope for a reserve block next to the Stoke section. I may have been a bit hasty in booking one earlier but at £13/14 I won't lose any sleep if I have to pay again for a better location or, indeed, if I now manage to get one through SCFC... What I do know is that I am amongst Stokies either way and that'll do for me right now...

Some people were saying it said it on the website, I looked but couldn't find it. When they were buying tickets for Real Madrid or Barcalona, funny enough it was a glory hunter from Stoke traveling to barca.

I guess block 62 will be sold out tomorrow, it'll be interesting to see how ticketmaster and then ultimately Valencia respond to the demand. In the meantime maybe SCFC can put the servicaixa link on the official Stoke website until they finaly manage to get our tickets on sale! ;D

I'm doing alot of digging to discover if we are next to the away fans, so far, it's a yes but only 70% sure.

When someone posted piccies of the Rangers fans the 'ticketless' were miles apart from the main away section in the Xicotet Alto with absolutely no bugger in between.
I'm surprised they didn't wander over to be together unless they were prevented from doing so. I might post on the Rangers board tomorrow to find out...

I reckon about 120 have been bought in Block 62 tonight Danny. When I first went on the site there was nearly 200 seats for sale in B62, now there's 74... Good night, gotta go bed - be interesting to see what happens tomorrow...

just spoken tp a friend in Valencia and he'sconfirmed that there is a large transvestite community in the city and this is where the club make them sit. If your planning on pulling while your away make sure it's a Juanita and not Juan your getting involved with.

When they were buying tickets for Real Madrid or Barcalona, funny enough it was a glory hunter from Stoke traveling to barca. Last August in Northern Spain, tried to use my visa debit card and MasterCard for fuel twice & it wouldnt accept either but used them both fine in other places before & after. Visa Credit card was fine both times.
